The Existential Loneliness Test

Ambivalent Loner

Your social contentment score is moderate, so while you do appear to be quite a loner, being alone for you isn't always dreadful and may even be useful sometimes. At the same time, you appear to feel pretty alien or alienated to others, a fact which if true, may well be the reason for your introversion. Consider being more social, but only after you've identified some signs to distinguish between those likely and those unlikely to understand you. So basically, consider being cautious -- since you probably don't want for rejections to drive down your contentment and willingness to be social -- yet don't withdraw significantly.
